"There was a point when I was so amazed, I almost got a little choked up," said Revivalists frontman David Shaw, recalling his band's cover of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" with Warren Haynes and Gov't Mule.

Haynes, playing then with Shaw at a Kansas City show, has been an ardent supporter of The Revivalists, helping the seven-piece New Orleans outfit make waves on the national jam scene. The Revivalists play Aug. 16 at Downtown After 5.
